Prayer breaks all bars, dissolves all chains, opens all prisons, and widens all straits by which God's saints have been held.

A severe apprenticeship in the trade of praying must be served in order to become a journeyman in it.

if the devil can get the church to withdraw from prayer by believing reasonable excuses, the church is under his dominion.

The stream of praying cannot rise higher than the fountain of living.

God's willingness to answer our prayers exceeds our willingness to give good and necessary things to our children, just as far as God's ability, goodness and perfection exceed our infirmities and evil.

In doing God's work, there is no substitute for praying. The men of prayer cannot be displaced with other kinds of men.

What the Church needs to-day is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use men of prayer, men mighty in prayer. The Holy Ghost does not flow through methods, but through men. He does not come on machinery, but on men. He does not anoint plans, but men, men of prayer.
